+Hi \r
+\r
+I have played with this and I like the feel of it: it is much more\r
+informative than completing-read and much less cluttered than\r
+ido-completing-read. \r
+\r
+I have some queries though:\r
+\r
+In some uses the user might want to choose something that is not offered\r
+(not relevant for this particular use, but maybe relevant for other\r
+notmuch uses like selecting a from address). Is this a design choice?\r
+\r
+I think I would like to be able to type in the buffer it shows,\r
+e.g. page down to page through lots of addresses, maybe ctrl-s for\r
+searching. Another possibility would be for the selection to narrow as\r
+extra characters are typed. Though in fact maybe your choice of leaving\r
+the character is exactly right: then the caller can take the extra\r
+character and call selection-menu again. (I had something which almost\r
+worked and it seemed quite nice).\r
+\r
+Finally, does this solution mean there is no "history" available?\r
+\r
+Best wishes\r
+\r
+Mark\r
